Since school is out, I really thought I would more time to update our blog this week, but who knew getting ready for a wedding could keep you so busy! ;)  One week from today Dan and I will be on Orcas Island getting ready to say our vows. For those of you doing a nutrition challenge this month, these recipes are for you!  The first recipe is for a mixed nut butter that seriously tastes like candy, but it's not sweetened at all!  If you're missing peanut butter right about now, try it out. Snickerdoodle Nut Butter Yield: ~1-16 oz. jar (plus a little extra) Gluten free, dairy free, soy free, egg free, vegan, Paleo Ingredients 1 cup raw cashews 2 cups blanched hazelnuts 1 cup raw almonds 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Dash of sea salt Directions Place the nuts in your food processor and begin to process.  Stop every 2-3 minutes, or as needed, to scrape down the sides of your food processor.  *Note, this will take about 20 mi
